appropriations but the bulk has been funded by revenues so we didn't require a fund draw and that has changed particularly in the current year where revenues are not sufficient to make up that gap and as a result, the balance goes to the general fund. i think it's worth noting in the several years we're in the deepest deficit for the city. a lot of our collective energy went to minimizing the service reductions that were required to balance the city's deficit but as a result base we focused on that rather than an redirecting fund to solve this deficit you can see it's grown significantly over the last several years we're now at an inimbalance of $14 million. like every health care company in the system we've got medical costs in the country and our city are raising faster than they're supposed to shows up in our labor costs and that growth in our costs means that each year between about $130 million if we do nothing so the deficit. you're seeing in the current year as we go on through time will be a remaining issue for us to deal with cleric as a city and think impact on the general fund. a c

i felt that in the 10 years and change of oirp we've been able to embrace the necessary changes and make a good contribution to the neighborhood in this project. as everybody has mentioned this is an r m zoning. we've color code the environment development around us are that the red is the units. the green are 3 to 9 units and the blue is single-family. and what you will notice is the proposed that are adjacent to us is the sunset towers or the cortland heights agreements there's a lot of high density units where we're not going to embrace those but the hive development on cresting land drives and that's the single-family houses on the street. and to that effect what we did was develop this site plan. the site plan has 24 unities in two - 12 duplex units above our joint garage. it doesn't call for any on street parking but we're developing the street with walk ability and a site on the private property next door. it's individual units that have been separate by corridors and here's the fire truck turn around at the end. we can work better as you can see here are very challenges. down her

. >> take us through the process to change it from a single family to two units. you would have to go through the planning and the parking is an issue, just because someone puts a kitchen in there it does not make a legal unit. unless you have the building permit to do so. i really what probably annoys me and everybody is that the unit changes on building permits and someone puts in three we give them a permit for three, i wish that it was better or it should be clear are and this is going back 70 or 80 years ago, it is very difficult, but and then when the people are living there a long time and the gentleman buys it, i don't know if i would have wanted maybe the commissioner if you had walked it you may would have disagreed being a realtor and it is hard to believe that it is three units but he probably bought the property and whether he knew or not. but it is what it is. but the building permit wise, i do in the see a permit to go from one to two, or two to three or three back to one. it is jumbeled. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> okay, seeing
